SK1 local market report Stockport

Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 7,727 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SK1 (Stockport) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to May 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

SK1 is the postcode district covering Stockport in Stockport. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

What a home in SK1 sells for

The 2026 median in SK1 is £215,000, from 43 registered sales; the mean, £254,100, sits well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £274,000, so SK1 trades 22% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical SK1 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 165%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper.

Year-on-year change in the SK1 median

Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+29.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

SK1 recorded 184 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 249 sales a year recently, against 301 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What homes rent for around SK1

SK1 falls under Stockport, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,100 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £798 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,719, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £215,000 median sold price, £1,100 a month is £13,200 a year, a gross yield of 6.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Will SK1 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 34% over five years in cash and up 9% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Ladders and snakes: five-year risers and fallers

SK1 ranks 1 of 19 in the SK area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.
